Learning to read does not compete with face and object recognition

2019-11-15

Abstract excerpt

<p>Human cultural inventions, such as written language, are far too recent for dedicated neural infrastructure to have evolved in its service. Culturally newly acquired skills (e.g. reading) thus ‘recycle’ evolutionarily older circuits that originally evolved for different, but similar functions (e.g. visual object recognition). The destructive competition hypothesis predicts that this neuronal recycling has detri...
